The Radiation Monitor (RADOM) payload is a miniature dosimeter-spectrometer onboard Chandrayaan-1 mission for monitoring the local radiation environment in nearEarth space and in lunar space. RADOM measured the total absorbed dose and spectrum of the deposited energy from high energy particles in near-Earth space, en-route and in lunar orbit. RADOM was the first experiment to be switched on soo...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the dependency of magica polymer gel dosimeter response (r2) on different electron energies as well as on different mean dose rate for a standard clinically used linear accelerator. materials and methods: the sensitivity of the dosimeter was represented by the slope of calibration curve in the linear region measured for each modality. a cali...

in radiation cancer treatments, the most of the side effects could be minimized using a proper dosimeter. gel dosimeter is the only three‑dimensional dosimeter and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the gold standard method for gel dosimeter readout. because of hard accessibility and high cost of sample reading by mri systems, some other alternative methods were developed. the optical computed...

Background: An effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. Materials and Methods: The MAGAT gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of Methacrylic acid (MAA) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the R2–dose response and R2–dose sensitivity. The irradiation of M...

We describe a method to directly measure the radial dose and anisotropy functions of brachytherapy sources using polyurethane based dosimeters read out with optical CT. We measured the radial dose and anisotropy functions for a Cs-137 source using a PRESAGE® dosimeter (9.5cm diameter, 9.2cm height) with a 0.35cm channel drilled for source placement. The dosimeter was immersed in water and irrad...
